What is it about this time of the year that makes the Martha Stewart crafty in me rear its head. Today's Christmas DIY edible gift project: I made 2 sets of these yummy Sugar Free Sauces. One set is a gift for a pal and one I'm keeping for me!

For each jar: mix 3/4 a cup of store bought sauce and 1 Tablespoon of Sugar Free Torani Syrup till well combined. Mix in any optional items up to about a Tablespoon.

Pour into a clean jelly jar. I used Kerr 8 oz. jars because I had those but Ball Mason makes 4 oz. jars too, just half the recipe.

Decorate and label your creation. According to Smucker's web site opened toppings do not require refrigeration but I recommend you refrigerate it if you aren't going to use it right away. It'll last several weeks then.

I love homemade stuff too. I hate that Christmas has become so commercial.

The salted caramel is delish... you know those buttery caramel squares you see in candy stores it's like those... different than the regular caramel syrup with a hint of salt... like someone dipped a pretzel in caramel.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
